Biomimetic approach to cardiac tissue engineering
26 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Here, we review an approach to tissue engineering of functional myocardium that is biomimetic in nature, as it involves the use of culture systems designed to recapitulate some aspects of the actual in vivo environment. To mimic the capillary network, subpopulations of neonatal rat heart cells were cultured on a highly porous elastomer scaffold with a parallel array of channels perfused with culture medium. To...
